Wavelength (λ)
Distance between two successive peaks or troughs
Frequency (v)
Number of waves per second that pass a given point in space
wave of light eq
c=vλ
Amplitude
Maximum and minimum height
* Intensity of wave, or brightness
* Varies with time as travels through space
Nodes
Points of zero amplitude
* Place where wave goes through axis
* Distance between nodes is constant
Rank The lights on the EMS from shortest to longest wavelength, highest to lowest frequency.
Gamma, X-ray, UV, Visible, (VIBGYOR) Infrared, Microwave, Radio wave
Which wavelength has the highest energy with the shortest wave
Gamma
Which wavelength has the lowest energy and longest wave
radiowave
What lightwaves can humans see
400-700 nm
energy of a photon equation
E=hv, where h is plancks constant,v is frequency
KE of ejected electron
KE=hv-BE where BE is binding energy
energy of a mole of photons eq
E=nhv where n=Na=Avogadro constant, h=Planck constant, v=frequency
Allowed values of quantum number n
1,2,3,4,5…etc
Allowed values of quantum number l
n-1, up to zero
allowed values for magnetic quantum number
-l to 0 to +l
allowed values for spin quantum number
+- 0.5
Pauli exclusion principle
electrons must be spin paired, you cannot have two up/two down
Properties of electrons in the same orbital
-diamagnetic (spin paired)
-not attracted to magnetic field
-magnetic effects cancel out
Properties of electrons in different orbitals with same spin
-paramagnetic (spin paired)
-attracted to magnetic field
-magnetic effects get stronger
Aufbau Principle
Lowest energy orbitals must be filled first
Hund’s rule
when filling subshells, put one e- in each subshell before spin pairing
Valence shell configuration
elcectron configuration of only the outermost shell for an element
Copper electron configuration (exception to the rule)
[Ar]3d10,4s1
Chromium electron configuration (exception to the rule)
[Ar]3d5,4s1
